Abu Hamza Thumali was a close companion of Imam Sajjad (asws) He has related that during the

month of Ramadan Imam Sajjad (asws) used to spend a greater part of the night in prayers and

when it used to be the time of beginning of the fast he recited the following dua'a. This dua'a has

been recorded in the book Misabh

In ‘Misbah al-Mutahajjid’, it has been narrated on the authority of Abu-hamzah al-Thamali that Imam Ali (asws) ibn al-Hussain (asws) Zain al-Abideen (asws) used to offer prayers the whole nights of Ramadan. At the last hour of Ramadan nights, he used to say the following supplication:

O Allah: Do not discipline me by

means of Your punishment

ilahe la tu-addibne

bi’uqubatik(a) بني بعقوبتك إلهي ال تؤد

And do not subject me to Your

planned strategy wala tamkur be fe helatik(a) وال تمكر بي في حيلتك

How can I attain welfare, O Lord,

while it is not found anywhere save

with You

min ayna liyal-khayru ya rabbi

wala yujadu illa min ’indik(a)

وال من أين لي الخير يا رب يوجد إال من عندك؟

And how can I find redemption while

it cannot be attained save through

You,

wamin ayna liyan-najatu wala

tusta’ta’u illa bik(a)

ومن أين لي النجاة وال تستطاع إال بك؟

Neither he who has done righteous

deeds can dispense with Your aid and

mercy

lalladhe ahsanas-taghna ‘an

‘awnika warahmatik(a)

ال الذي أحسن استغنى عن عونك ورحمتك

Nor can he who did evildoings, dare

to challenge you and did not arrive at

Your pleasure find an exit out of

Your power

walalladhe asa-a wajtara-a

‘alayka walam yurdhika kharaja

‘an qudratik(a)

وال الذي أساء واجترأ عليك ولم يرضك خرج عن قدرتك

Repeat this phrase as many times as possible in one breath:

O Lord… ya rabbi... …يا رب

Through You have I known You bika ‘arabftuk(a) بك عرفتك

You showed me the way to You and

invited me to come towards You

wa-anta dalaltane ‘alayka

wada'awtane ilaky(a)

وأنت دللتني عليك ودعوتني إليك

Had it been not You, I would have

never known who You are walawla anta lam adri ma ant(a) ولوال أنت لم أدر ما أنت

All praise be to Allah alone Who

gives answer to me whenever I pray

Him

alhamdu lillahil-ladhe ad-’uhu

fayujebune الذي أدعوه فيجيبني الحمد لل

Although I am slow whenever He

invites me

wa-in kuntu bate-an hena yad-

‘une وإن كنت بطيئا حين يدعوني

All praise be to Allah alone Who

gives me whenever I ask Him

walhamdu lillahil-ladhe as-

aluhu fayu’tene الذي أسأله فيعطيني والحمد لل

2 | http://www.wilayatmission.org

Although I become close-fisted when

He asks me

wa-in kuntu bakhelan hena

yastaqridhune وإن كنت بخيال حين يستقرضني

All praise be to Allah alone Whom I

call whenever I need something

walhamdu lillahil-ladhe

unadehi kullama shi-`tu lihajate

الذي أناديه كلما والحمد لل شئت لحاجتي

And Whom I secretly converse

whenever I want without need for an

intercessor

wa-akhlu bihe haythu shi-`tu

lisirre bighayri shafe’(in)

ي وأخل و به حيث شئت لسر بغير شفيع

He thus settles my need fayaqdhe le hajate فيقضي لي حاجتي

All praise be to Allah alone other

than Whom I never pray

alhamdu lillahil-ladhe la ad-‘u

ghayrah(u) الذي ال أدعو غيره الحمد لل

And even if I pray anyone else, he

shall never be able to respond to my

prayer

walaw da’awtu ghayrahu lam

yastajib le du’a-e

ولو دعوت غيره لم يستجب لي دعائي

All praise be to Allah alone for other

than Whom I do not hope

walhamdu lillahil-ladhe la arju

ghayrah(u) الذي ال أرجو غيره والحمد لل

And even if I hope for anyone else,

he shall certainly disappoint me

walaw rajawtu ghayrahu la-

akhlafa raja-e غيره ألخلف رجائيولو رجوت

All praise be to Allah alone Who has

accepted me to depend upon Him

and, thus, bestowed favors upon me

walhamdu lillahil-ladhe

wakalane ilayhi fa-akramane

الذي وكلني إليه والحمد لل فأكرمني

He has not left me to the people who

will thus definitely humiliate me

walam yakilne ilan-nasi

fayuhenune ولم يكلني إلى الناس فيهينوني

All praise be to Allah alone Who has

sought my friendship while He can

dispense with me

walhamdu lillahil-ladhe

tahabbaba ilayya wahuwa

ghaniyyun ‘anne

الذي تحبب إلي وهو والحمد لل غني عن ي

(All) praise be to Allah (alone) Who

showed Himself gentle and

considerate towards me as if I have

not sinned

walhamdu lillahil-ladhe

yahlumu ‘anne hatta ka-anne la

dhanba le

الذي يحلم عن ي حتى والحمد لل كأن ي ال ذنب لي

Accordingly, my Lord is the only

One Whom I should thank and He is

the worthiest of being thanked by me

farabbe ahmadu shay-in ‘inde

wa-ahaqqu bihamde

ب ي أحمد شيء عندي وأحق فر بحمدي

O Allah, I find the courses to asking

from You wide open

allahumma inne ajidu subulal-

matalibi ilayka mushra’a(tan)

الل هم إن ي أجد سبل المطالب إليك مشرعة

And I find the springs to hoping for

You overflowing

wamanahilar-raja-i ladayka

mutra’a(tan) جاء لديك مترعة ومناهل الر

And I find seeking the help of Your

favor reachable for them who have

hopefully looked forward to You

walisti’anata bifadhlika liman

ammalaka mubaha(tan)

لك واإلستعانة بفضلك لمن أم مباحة

And I find the doors of praying You

vulnerable for them who cry to You

wa-abwabad-du’a-i ilayka lis-

sarikhena maftuha(tan)

ارخين وأبواب الدعاء إليك للص مفتوحة

And I know for sure that You give

favorable reply to the petitioners

wa-a’lamu annaka lir-raji’ena

bimawdhi’i ijaba(tin)

اجين بموضع وأعلم أنك للر إجابة

And that You relentlessly succor the

aggrieved

walilmalhufena bimarsadi

ighatha(tin) وللملهوفين بمرصد إغاثة

3 | http://www.wilayatmission.org

And that to long for Your

beneficence and to accept Your will

and judgement are well compensation

for that which the close-fisted misers

deny

wa-anna fil-lahfi ila judika war-

ridha biqadha-ika ‘iwadhan min

And an alternative to that which is

possessed by the stingy

wanduhatan ‘amma fe aydil-

musta-thiren(a)

And that he who travels towards You

will easily reach his destination

wa-annar-rahila ilayka qarebul-

masafa(ti) احـل إليك قريب المسافة وأن الر

And that You do not conceal

Yourself against Your creatures

unless their evildoings stand between

them and You

wa-annaka la tahtajibu ‘an

And I am directing towards You

carrying my needs watawajjahtu ilayka bihajate هت إليك بحاجتي وتوج

And I have sought the help of You

alone waja’altu bikas-tighathate وجعلت بك استغاثتي

And I am begging You through my

prayer although I do not deserve to

be observed by You or to be

pardoned by You

Rather I have full confidence in Your

generosity ballithiqate bikaramik(a) بل لثقتي بكرمك

And I have relied upon the

truthfulness of Your promise wasukune ila sidqi wa’dik(a) وعدك وسكوني إلى صدق

And I have sought shelter with my

faith in Your Oneness and my

certitude in the fact -which you

know- that I have no Lord other than

You

walaja-e ilal-emani bitawhedika

And there is no god save You wala ilaha illa ant(a) وال إله إال أنت

Alone without having any partner wahdaka la shareka lak(a) وحدك ال شريك لك

O Allah: It is You Who have said,

and Your sayings are always true

allahumma antal-qa-ilu

waqawluka haqq(un) الل هم أنت القائل وقولك حق

And Your promise is always valid: wawa’duka sidq(un) ووعدك صدق:

“Ask Allah of His bounty. Verily

Allah is ever Merciful to you.”

was-alul-llaha min fadhlihe

It is not Your habit, O my Chief, that

You instruct (us) to implore You and

then You stop giving (us)

walaysa min sifatika ya sayyide

And You are the All-benefactor Who

donations

wa-antal-mannanu bil-‘atiyyati

And You are the All-generous Who

meets them with the kindness of

Your compassion

wal-‘a-idu ‘alayhim

O my God: You brought me up amid

Your bounties and favors when I was

little

wa-ihsanika saghera(n)

إلهي ربيتني في نعمك وإحسانك صغيرا

And You have mentioned me when I

have grown up wanawwahta bisme kabera(n) هت باسمي كبيرا ونو

So, O He Who brought me up in this

world with His bounties, favors, and

graces

faya man rabbane fiddunya bi-

ihsanihe watafadhdhulihe

فيا من رباني في الدنيا له ونعمه بإحسانه وتفض

And, in the Hereafter, will have

referred to me with His amnesty and

generosity

wa-ashara le fil-akhirati ila

‘afwihe wakaramih(e)

وأشار لي في اآلخرة إلى عفوه ه وكرم

My acquaintance with You, O my

Lord, is the path taking me to You

ma’rifate ya mawlaya dalele

‘alayk(a) معرفتي يا موالي دليلي عليك

And my love for You is the

intermediary between You and me wahubbe laka shafe’e ilayk(a) شفيعي إليك وحب ي لك

And I am sure of the path to which

You have lead me

wa-ana wathiqun min dalele

And I rely upon my intermediary’s

success before You

wasakinun min shafe’e ila

I pray You, O my Chief, with a

tongue muted by its sins

ad-‘uka ya sayyidie bilisanin

أدعوك يا سي دي بلسان قد أخرسه ذنبه

O Lord! I confidentially speak to You

with a heart degraded by its offenses

rabbi unajeka biqalbin qad

أناجيك بقلب قد أوبقه رب جرمه

I pray You, O Lord, with terror,

desire, hope, and fear

ad-‘uka ya rabbi rahiban

راهبا راغبا أدعوك يا رب راجيا خائفا

Whenever I think of my sins, O my

Master, I panic

idha ra-aytu mawlaya dhunube

But when I think of Your generosity,

I feel desirous (for Your pardon)

wa-idha ra-aytu karamaka

tami’t(u) وإذا رأيت كرمك طمعت

Therefore, if You forgive me, You

are already the best of those who

show mercy

fa-in ‘afawta fakhayru

rahim(in) فإن عفوت فخير راحم

And If punish me, You are then not

wronging me

wa-in ‘adhdhabta faghayru

¨alim(in) وإن عذبت فغير ظالم

Yet, it is Your munificence and Your

generosity, O Allah, that gave me the

courage to pray You despite that I

have committed things that You

dislike

hujjate ya allahu fe jur-ate ‘ala

mas-alatika ma’a ityane ma

that I use as my means during

misfortunes inflicting me despite my

shamelessness

I thus hope that my expectation will

not be disappointed amid these two

matters

So, make my hopes become real fahaqqiq raja-e فحق ق رجائي

O the Greatest Besought One that has

been ever besought ya khayra man da’ahu da’(in) يا خير من دعاه داع

And the Most Favorable Hoped One wa-afdhala man rajahu raj(in) وأفضل من رجاه راج

My expectation, O my Chief, has

been great but my deed has been bad

‘a¨uma ya sayyide amale wasa-

So grant me Your pardon as much as

my expectation

And do not punish me for the worst

of my deed

wala tu-akhidhne bi-aswa-i

Verily, Your generosity is too great

to be compared to the penalty of the

guilty

fa-inna karamaka yajillu ‘an

فإن كرمك يجل عن مجازاة المذنبين

And Your tolerance is too immense

to be compared to the punishment of

the negligent

And I, O my Chief, am seeking

refuge with Your benevolence

And I am fleeing from You towards

You haribun minka ilayk(a) هارب منك إليك

who keeps good idea about You

Do me a favor out of Your

benevolence habne bifadhlik(a) هبني بفضلك

And be charitable to me by means of

pardoning me watasaddaq ‘alayya bi’afwik(a) وتصدق علي بعفوك

O my Lord! Cover me with Your

protective covering ay rabbi jallilne bisatrik(a) جل لني بسترك أي رب

And overlook reproaching me out of

the generosity of Your Face

wa’fu ‘an tawbekhe bikarami

In fact, if anyone other than You

have watched me while committing

these sins, I may not commit them

falawit-tala'al-yawma ‘ala

And had I anticipated immediateness

of punishment, I might have avoided

doing them

Yet, this does not mean that You are

the least important of those who

watch over me

Or You are the least weighty of those

who observe me

Rather, this is because You, O my

Lord, are the best of those who cover

up (one’s defects)

And the wisest of those who judge wa-ahkamul-hakimen(a) وأحكم الحاكمين

Is it ever expectable, O Lord, that

You may disappoint us or may act on

the contrary of our expectations?

afaturaka ya rabbi tukhlifu

تخلف ظنوننا أو أفتراك يا رب تخي ب آمالنا؟

No, never. O Compassionate! This is

neither our idea about You nor our

desire from You!

O my Lord: verily we have hope, big

and large, in You

tawelan kathera(n)

إن لنا فيك أمال طويال يا رب كثيرا

Verily we have great expectation in

You inna lana feka raja-an ‘a¨ema(n) إن لنا فيك رجاء عظيما

Albeit that we have disobeyed You,

we still hope that You will cover our

faults

And we have prayed You hoping that

You will respond to us

ودعوناك ونحن نرجو أن تستجيب لنا

So, give success to our hopes, O our

Lord! fahaqqiq raja-ana mawlana موالنافحق ق رجاءنا

We now know for sure that which we

deserve in exchange of our deeds

faqad ‘alimna ma tastawjibu bi-

a’malina فقد علمنا ما نستوجب بأعمالنا

Yet, Your knowledge about us and

our knowledge that You shall never

let us down have urged us to desire

Even if we do not deserve Your

However, You are the worthiest of

conferring upon us and upon the

benevolence

We beseech You, O Allah, to forgive

them and we repent before You

consume me while You are my
